Why do superheroes need secret identities? It's been the topic of many books and many different reasons have been explored. A common response to this question is that heroes keep their identities secret to protect their loved ones. But here's an interesting thought - maybe they just need a rest every once in awhile?
A secret identity allows a superhero to remain invisible among the crowds. This is something Mister Universe needs but can't have. A masked intergalactic champion with unlimited powers, Mister Universe doesn't have a secret identity; he simply fights day in and day out to protect the innocents of Earth and alien civilizations from crime, space monsters and anything else that may come up.
Mister Universe is also fictional - a hero in a comic book read by a boy named Tommy, a 14-year-old boy with a very wild imagination. He doesn't talk too much and closes himself off most of the time. He's also obsessed with the tireless hero in the comic book "Mister Universe." Maybe a little too obsessed?
